Bug 41654 – dev-dotnet/mono-0.31 failure on ~ppc

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Holm (RETIRED) 2004-02-15 05:22:25 UTC]

I've tried to compile mono on ~ppc but it fails because it tries to access build/platforms/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu.make instead of build/platforms/linux.make

I believe the problem is that someone the envvar PLATFORM is set, that is what mcs uses to detect if you are on win32 or linux.

attempt inserting an unset PLATFORM before mcs is made but after mono is made.

Setting PLATFORM=linux did the trick. But now compilation fails with a
System.NullReferenceException

i think it might work if you using mint (the interpreter) instead of mono (the jit) right now.

Hopefully the jit will be in place for 0.31 but not sure, I know lupus is working his ass off on it.

I do believe the jit works for certain smaller applications, but for bootstraping mcs and the class lib mint must be used.

Mono 0.31 still fails on PowerPC :(

[Comment 9 David Holm (RETIRED) 2004-05-05 02:53:06 UTC]

The problems with 0.30 and 0.31 seemed to be connected to the missing exception handling on ppc. 0.91 seems to be working just fine.
